THIS IS MY FIRST SWAN QUEEN FANFIC SO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. THIS IDEA JUST CAME INTO MY HEAD ONE NIGHT AS I WAS WATCHING SQ VIDEOS AND PHOTOS ON INSTAGRAM SO NOW I HAVE TO WRITE IT. LEAVE YOUR REVIEWS AND OPINIONS. SNOW WHITE IS NOT EMMA'S MOTHER AND THE DARK CURSE WILL NEVER BE ENACTED.
Long time ago, in a magnificent parallel world full of magical creatures you could've just hear about, live and walk among people,living their lives as happiest as they can. This world is just a fairytale to us, complete different realm, as they like to say. Just imagination of our restricted brains,just a story about heroes and villains, about happy endings and finding true loves. Oh how wrong are we? So blind and selfish to believe that there's no other world except ours. Well, darlings, there is. And is much more realistic than any other story or book you've ever heard of.
This is how it started...
The big storm leaned over Dark side of the Enchanted Forest ruled by the Evil Queen who became widow not so long ago. Apparently her husband, King Leopold, was killed. Although many people think that Queen killed him just to take over the crown, because his young sweet daughter Snow White was underage, while other have their own theory how King died because of old age. Only one knows the truth. Queen. Trust me, it's better for you to call her Queen, than to put inconvenient adjective in front of her name. Some people have done that and they ended up banished or worse, killed on the spot. You should see her; sitting on her precious,strong horse with most royal posture person can have, one arm in the air as she roughly pushed the poor man against sharp rock. Blood all around him and what's worst,she didn't even blink while doing such a criminal.
Instead she widened sinister smile all around her face, intimidating every single soul that was there, who were hiding behind each other's back just to avoid her poisonous glare. Little later she hit the back of the horse with whip who jumped on his rear legs,like he was showing those people his ruler victory. And so she went back to her castle,eyeing everyone as she was doing so. No one has ever thought that the Queen hides such evil inside of herself. Actually, no one knew anything about the Queen. They all heard about her glorious beauty which was the only thing she had. Trapped inside of that castle walls; prisoner in her own home, in constant shadows and nasty memories of deceased Queen Eva.
Today was anniversary of Daniel's death and all she was doing was sitting at the dinner table, waiting for servants to serve her dinner,so she could eat and escape Snow's further tedious chatter. But for now she was listening Snow's constant babbling how interesting day she had. Honestly, Regina couldn't care less. All she cared about today, all she was thinking about today was her beautiful,gentle Daniel, softly holding her in his arms, promising and giving her moon and stars. Regina smiled at thought but was interrupted by Snow's loud squeak as she was laughing like an idiot.
''And then James and I started running and we saw a woman...''
Regina shook her head and, just this time, payed attention to Snow's words.
''And started walking towards her when she turned around to face us, she was holding a heart. A human heart!'' Horror spread across girl's face ''In her hands and she was crushing it.''
Regina raised her eyebrows and looked at the servant who put plate full of food in front of her, thinking about woman who, appears to be a lot like Regina. Crushing hearts. That wasn't good. She was the only sorceress,witch as some use to call her, in this part of Enchanted Forest, how is it even possible that she hasn't even heard about this woman. Well it seems she'll have to explore this woman a little more. Actually this was very intrigue for Regina, finding someone like yourself must be special.
''Tell me child, where did you find that woman?''
She asked as she wiped away the corners of her perfect lips covered with purple lipstick,looking at the plate,still lost in her mind. Snow titled her head, looking at her stepmother and asking her shakily:
''Why?''
Regina suppressed chuckle because she can see Snow's fear all around her face. Actually that face was very familiar. People were watching her like this; pale skin, widened eyes and tightly pressed jaw. She was starting asking herself who the hell was this person? How does she looks like. She must be very intimidating to leave such mark on poor,innocent Snow's mind. That brat was everything but innocent. No one knows her like Regina does, the only people who knew her are dead now. No one can protect her, not even her darling shepard. She thinks that she's safe. This thought made Regina smile a little. It's good that it went unnoticed by girl who was still talking about mysterious woman who had white hair and...Regina didn't even pay attention at her words,like at all. She was thinking about having this girl in her bare hands, this naive girl is blindly trusting her, thinking how she'll protect her if something bad happens. But what she doesn't know is that Regina is planning to squeeze that hand and choke the life out of her. Daniel's death must be avenged. Even now as they were sitting at the table, Regina couldn't remove the thought about stabbing the fork, which she was clenching so tightly until her knuckles became white, in girl's precious neck.
''Just tell me.'' She said firmly,hand clenching into fist under the table as she let a little amount of anguish filling the air between two of them.
Snow coughed and put a full spoon of soup in her mouth,after she swallowed she answered her deareststepmother:
''A bit further from James' farm. She was just walking around the fields...in white dress and sinister look upon her face while she was crushing someone's heart...'' As Snow was talking she almost started crying bitter tears, full of sadness and questions; how can someone be so heartless?
In that moment Regina got up from the table,annoyed to the core because of this child who just can't shut up! Snow looked at her in confusion , getting up from the table as well:
''Where are you going?''
Regina didn't even bother to answer her. Instead she just continued walking with her regal posture; head high, straight spine and watching right in front of herself. As she was walking through the castle every single person she passed by, bowed. Smirk widened across her face. This was exactly what she wanted. Everyone on their knees in front of her. She wanted to see fear and respect everytime she look at them. She felt so powerful, and as she was thinking about the strange woman, she told herself that she was nothing compared to herself and if that woman starts making problems that she will just have to get rid of her. Not such a big deal. Regina killed many, this woman will not be an exception. Although it was a strange feeling. Thinking about that woman and about finding her...She didn't know how to start. She can't just poof herself in the middle of field, expecting that woman to be there.
So, there was only one person who could help her.
Dark One.
Rumplestiltskin.
So she poof herself in front of his cell, disappearing in the purple smoke with just one flick of her wrist. This place didn't change one bit. There wasn't light at all. Only darkness, which suited her. She started walking towards the dungeon, grabbing the bar cells with both of her hands, bringing her face to them,staring into the darkness, evoking Rumple's name. She called him about three times, politely, but then she bursted, using her firm and high, strong voice fill with annoyance:
''Show yourself you little imp!''
Nothing.
She rolled her eyes and was about to turn around and go. She lost hope,really quickly. It's strange because she lives with Snow who can't stop talking about hope and love and those stuff in which Regina forgot to believe long time ago. She didn't even notice the woman inside of the cell,looking at her. Woman was curled like ball of wool in the corner of the cell,looking at Regina. Admiring her from the first time she laid her eyes on her beautiful body. Woman knew Regina will come. Wonder how? That woman is the Dark One. You'll learn her story later, for now, let focus on her eyes devouring Regina's figure and face. She was tall, probably because of those high heels in which she looked even more sinister, woman could bet that Regina was much more fragile without those. As she was checking her heels, she started looking at her strong,beautiful legs in those black leather jeans. Darkness started talking inside of womans head:
''She's tempting. Absolutely alluring woman, isn't she?''
Woman nodded and answered in her head firmly,without hesitation when Darkness continued with seductive tone:
''I knew you'd like her. But there's one thing you should know...''
Woman answered slowly with mad higher voice:
''I know...She's the Queen.''
Woman payed attention at Regina again, who was starting to lose her temper. Woman find her even more attractive now, like this wild and furious because she didn't get what she wanted. Oh so, she's used to get what she wanted...but there was something else she saw in Regina. Lack of hope. Loneliness. Sadness buried deep inside of those dark eyes that shows up more than eternal evil. Good side of woman was thinking about her in that way, but dark side, Darkness was pushing her on the wrong path:
''Take a good look at her. Beautiful woman with beautiful body...''
Emma's gaze locked on Regina's breasts which were going up and down heavily in that corset, sweetly caressed by her delicate,black hair which was gathered in high tail. As Regina's frustration grew more and more by each passing second. Good side of Emma didn't want to be rude so she looked at Regina's face instead of her body. Even from here she could see how beautiful lips she had;thick and soft covered with cherry lipstick. So dark. So devilishly tempting. It was like they were calling for her, evoking her name through whispers, how she could kiss them., making them swollen until they bleed...Ugh! Can't you see how easy is to fall into darkness?
''Don't forget I know everything what you think and you're absolutely right...Your arms should be on that body...touching those rich breasts,kissing those appealing lips, isn't that right Emma? And you and I know that that's true and that that's what you want...''
And as Emma started thinking about that, slightly smiling to herself she looked at Regina turning around and she didn't want to let her go, but she was still thinking how awkward that would be. Just jump out of here,grabbing her soft arm and pushing her against those cell bars as closest she can,just enough for their lips to touch, just a little touch on those rich lips would be enough. Emma would be sated.
''What are you waiting for? Are you crazy? Will you let her walk away?!''
Darkness was scolding her, yelling in her head as loudest it could,deliberately urging her to get up and to stop Regina from leaving, how this was not right, how she won't meet this kind of woman in her whole life, and we all know that Dark Ones are immortal. In that moment Emma got up and inaudibly came closer to Regina,heart beating so fast that she had a feeling it could jump from her chest, right into Regina's hands as she, completely terrified and stunned turned around,feeling cold hand holding her in place, watching woman in front of herself. Regina opened her mouth and stared in woman in front of her. She had white skin and white hair along with long,almost bridal white dress and red lipstick on those sweet lips.
Regina knew, she wasn't innocent,she knew that she,herself started making vulgar fantasies inside of her head with this woman in white. Emma has done the same. Studying Regina from this angle. She looked beautiful from afar, but now, she looked like an angel, angel of death to be precise in that dark,black clothing, but Emma couldn't care less. She already sold her soul to the devil, the same moment she stabbed Rumple's chest with the dagger. Both were utterly astonished by each other. Regina,aggressively,like she knows, tried to pull her hand out of Emma's grip, being quiet all the time, she just snarled at Emma because she was holding her so roughly it hurt. In one moment Emma wanted to let her go, but Darkness reminded her, telling her selfishly:
''Don't you dare let her go.''Silence''Look at her. She's just like you. Corrupted to the core.''
And in that moment it wasn't just Darkness who was speaking, Regina raised her voice, converting to Emma as she was speaking to some peasants:
''Move your dirty hands away from me!''
Regina made disgust face expression,the same she makes when she sees Snow White all happy and healthy and still...very much alive, running inside of the castle walls.
She moved away from Emma's grip, finally, but it wasn't because Regina was stronger it was because Regina's words,somehow hurt Emma's feelings and she went weak all of the sudden. And all she wanted was for Regina to stay. All she could hear in her head was mocking voice of smug Darkness:
''Oh, she's feisty...I bet she's a great lover.''
Emma stayed silent,looking at Regina with hurt eyes and, even Regina doesn't know why, but she was touched by hurt look in woman's eyes. Maybe she was hursh? Nonsense. She was, is,the Queen and she made herself perfectly clear that she wasn't one of them. That she's better. After all that's everything what Cora was telling and teaching her. It finally stuck in her head and now it can't get out.
''Don't take it personally. She's the Queen. She won't let you touch her just like that.''
Emma smirked ''Of course she won't.'' She thought and looked at Regina's astonished face. Raised eyebrows and mouth closed in one line...oh those mouth. Regina must be thinking how she went crazy because she's locked up in here.
''Really, dear, what's the matter with you? Are you completely mad?''
Emma was losing her temper, bit by bit. This woman really knows how to make you crazy, and it makes you think about horrible things. From dirty desired in bedroom to committing a murder. Those kind of people are most dangerous, of them all. And now, it didn't matter now how beautiful Regina looked, or how her body and deep, husky voice did things to Emma. Emma couldn't stand this any longer. She acted so powerless in front of this woman. It looked like decades had passed when she remembered that she is the Dark One. That she can rip this perfect woman's heart from her chest and make her do her bidding and everything else she wanted. She knew that she can do everything, while Regina could do...absolutely nothing. Emma knows that Regina's smart,so she must be knowing that the only way to kill the Dark One is the dagger. Which she doesn't have, nor she'll ever have.
''Will you let her mock you?''
Darkness provoked even further and in that moment Emma snapped,jumping from her place to grab Regina soft neck, bringing her just a few inches away from her's. Their gazes locked up while Emma continued with squeezing Regina's neck. She thought that Regina would scream and shout from her full lungs but no...she was there, under her mercy, watching her with half opened eyes,asking her quietly:
''Who are you?''
Emma came even closer to Regina,her grip soften a little when she answered through dreadful whisper:
''Dark One...Your Majesty.''
